Gender confusion
This is the shidduch form from of a NY organization. Note that I did not change anything (including the missing d for the word married). Note the language and questions. This is the male form as indicated by references to dating "a girl," but it still asks about"your plans for your husband" and hair covering.

Tesyaa, "married girl" just sounds ridiculous. It utterly deconstructs the line, "I'm a married woman" to change the last word.
